       <STRONG>set_menu_format</STRONG>, <STRONG>menu_format</STRONG> - set and get menu sizes


</PRE><H2><a name="h2-SYNOPSIS">SYNOPSIS</a></H2><PRE>
       <STRONG>#include</STRONG> <STRONG>&lt;menu.h&gt;</STRONG>
       int set_menu_format(MENU *menu, int rows, int cols);
       void menu_format(const MENU *menu, int *rows, int *cols);


</PRE><H2><a name="h2-DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</a></H2><PRE>
       The function <STRONG>set_menu_format</STRONG> sets the maximum display size of the given
       menu.  If this size is too small to display all menu  items,  the  menu
       will be made scrollable.  If this size is larger than the menus subwin-
       dow and the subwindow is too small to display all menu items, <STRONG>post_menu</STRONG>
       will fail.

       The  default format is 16 rows, 1 column.  Calling <STRONG>set_menu_format</STRONG> with
       a null menu pointer will change this default.  A  zero  row  or  column
       argument  to  <STRONG>set_menu_format</STRONG> is interpreted as a request not to change
       the current value.

       The function <STRONG>menu_format</STRONG> returns the maximum-size constraints  for  the
       given menu into the storage addressed by <STRONG>rows</STRONG> and <STRONG>cols</STRONG>.


</PRE><H2><a name="h2-RETURN-VALUE">RETURN VALUE</a></H2><PRE>
       These routines returns one of the following:

       <STRONG>E_OK</STRONG> The routine succeeded.

       <STRONG>E_SYSTEM_ERROR</STRONG>
            System error occurred (see <STRONG>errno(3)</STRONG>).

       <STRONG>E_BAD_ARGUMENT</STRONG>
            Routine detected an incorrect or out-of-range argument.

       <STRONG>E_POSTED</STRONG>
            The menu is already posted.

       <STRONG>E_NOT_CONNECTED</STRONG>
            No items are connected to the menu.
